    I stumbled across this site when I was looking for different primary source documents and lesson. I thought it was extraordinary! I haven't played around TOO much with it yet, but from what I can tell when you get into it, and look at a document/photo, it creates a web to related topics in a nice little interface, making searching for them easy peasy (like I said from what I can tell so far). I was impressed with it. =) From the site: Exploring the Digital Vaults is easy. You can browse through the hundreds of photographs, documents, and film clips and discover the connection between some of the National Archives' most treasured records. To use the media rich version of this site you will need to download the Adobe Flash 9 player.

    A great comprehensive list of Native American information for students. I am going to recommend this site to a teacher I know whose students are researching different Native American groups throughout the United States. This will be a valuable site to reference again and again.

  • Explore the notion of perspective taking and how it leads to empathy.

How would a more empathetic understanding of the character change the narrative? How would it affect the meaning of the story?

diversity inclusion awareness

shared by Bill Olson on 04 Sep 21 - No Cached
  • Inclusive teaching refers to pedagogy that strives to serve the needs of all students, regardless of background or identity, and support their engagement with subject material. Hearing diverse perspectives can enrich student learning by exposing everyone to stimulating discussion, expanding approaches to traditional and contemporary issues, and situating learning within students’ own contexts while exploring those contexts. Students are more motivated to take control of their learning in classroom climates that recognize them, draw relevant connections to their lives, and respond to their unique concerns (Ambrose et. al, 2010).
  • Examine Implicit Biases - Instructors can consider their own attitudes towards students and strive to minimize negative impacts. This process can involve actively monitoring interactions with different types of students, implementing policies like name-blind grading and inter-rater grading to minimize the impact of bias, and maintaining high expectations for all students.
  • Maintain Awareness of Classroom Diversity - Instructors can develop and maintain their awareness and understanding of various racial and socioeconomic factors in their classes, as a way to test their implicit bias, ensure equal access for all their students, and even enrich classroom discussion.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • Add a Diversity Statement to Syllabus - Instructors can address diversity issues head-on during the first class session by inviting students to discuss the syllabus in earnest; explaining the teaching philosophy with regards to other inclusive teaching methods; and outlining classroom ground rules for respectful classroom discussions and an inclusive community.

Defining Visual Impairment for Parents and Special Education Teachers - 0 views

Visual Impairment Parent Tips

shared by clwisniewski on 17 Nov 21 - No Cached
  • As the term indicates, a visual impairment involves an issue with sight which interferes with a student’s academic pursuits. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) officially defines the category as “an impairment in vision that, even with correction, adversely affects a child’s educational performance. The term includes both partial sight and blindness.”
    • sadielaurenn
      sadielaurenn on 17 Nov 21
       
      We, as teachers, need to remember that these impairments "adversely affect a child's educational performance".
  • Early intervention can help a child strengthen his or her vision. This means that as a parent, you should waste no time if you suspect that your child possesses a visual impairment.
    • sadielaurenn
      sadielaurenn on 17 Nov 21
       
      I recently learned that an eye clinic near me, Brainerd, MN, provides free infancy eye exams to try to allow for early intervention of vision impairments!
  • While the causes vary, there are several common signs which may indicate that a child has a visual impairment. These include:Irregular eye movements (for instance, eyes that don’t move together or that appear unfocused)Unusual habits (such as covering one eye or frequently rubbing eyes)Sitting abnormally close to a television or holding a book close to the face
    • clwisniewski
      clwisniewski on 17 Nov 21
       
      This could be helpful information to give parents if they are concerned about their child having vision problems at school, or if they can qualify for help, as well as suggesting they see an optometrist for further evaluation.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • Challenges in conceptualizing objects occur because the student lacks the vision to process objects the way that his or her classmates do. Sensory learning works well as a solution, according to NICHCY. This strategy helps students with visual impairments conceptualize by allowing them to use their other senses to understand an object.

      Allow visually impaired students opportunities to use their other senses through sensory learning.

  • Increasing Depth, Complexity, and RigorAnother way to develop curriculum for gifted learners is to incorporate greater depth, complexity, and rigor. You can achieve this through a variety of strategies. One simple method is to provide students with questions requiring a higher level of critical thinking. Discussion groups, such as Socratic seminars and fishbowl discussions, in which students explore such questions are particularly effective--you can ask your students to paraphrase their peers' responses and then add on or pose other questions.

Gifted and Talented vs Advanced Placement: Know the Difference to Prevent GT Burnout - ... - 0 views

shared by nikkilh on 29 Jan 22 - No Cached
  • When a child has been identified as gifted and talented, this means that they have a greater potential for learning in at least one subject. GT kids can be exceedingly creative or intensely analytical. They can be socially mature or delayed, they can be introverts or extroverts, goofballs or unusually serious. In other words, you can’t stuff them into a single easy to categorize box.

  • Gifted and Talented vs Advanced Placement
  • They need more time to think and explore, not more time doing homework and yet some schools work on the false impression that GT simply means ‘academic superstar’ and pile on the AP classes and maintaining this schedule is expected in order to keep your ‘gifted’ qualification.
